School Program Overview and Cost

 

To book a school visit, contact Jennifer at mikethalerschoolvisits@gmail.com or (765) 692-0371.

In a highly interactive, motivational format, Mike reads, draws, and teaches writing and riddling, inspiring and empowering kids to create their own books. Assemblies for grades K-2 and 3-6 are tailored to the emotional and linguistic development of each audience. See School Program Descriptions for more detail and additional offerings.

The half day program or morning of the full day consists of these 2 assemblies each lasting 45 minutes, and the creation of original and personalized artwork for the school including a poster for the library, a book mark, a book plate, and an autographed drawing to be copied for each student. Also all library books are autographed as time permits.

The afternoon of the full day program can include interactive, grade by grade, question and answer sessions, or another activity. See School Program Sample Schedule for more information.

Full day program also includes a half hour bonus session after school for teachers.

**Please do not change program formats without first checking with either Mike or his booking agent, Jennifer. 

There is a 3 full day program minimum outside of Oregon and a 2 full day program minimum in Oregon, if it is outside of the Portland Metro Area, unless I am already in or near your area (See my Calendar). Often schools combine ½ day and full day programs to meet this requirement.
